About International Turkic

Salam!
Kumanchaning saypaga xosh(karshi) alimiz!
Welcome to the International Turkic language page!
This language is designed to be an easier version of a generic Turkic language that could still be understood by Turkic speakers, therefore it is not meant to be a "Common Turkic" that is aimed to help Turkic language speaking people communicate with one another, it is just a Turkic language for foreigners who have little to no experience in Turkic languages. Also I have no idea why I named it "kumancha", I just think that kuman sounds cool
Pros of this language:
Easier pronunciation, no vowel harmony(except for the Uyghur Standard System)
Understand many Turkic languages
Easier grammar(totally not a lie, pichaklandirishmamalevatisilar? means could you not be making yourself get stabbed by yourseves?)
-No evidentiality
-No future tense
More loanwords, so easier words
Cons of this language:
-Unless the person you are speaking to someone who understands O'zbekcha or ئۇيغۇرچە, there might be quite some trouble in communication
-5 different scripts, 3 different pronunciation standards and special characters according to pronunciation standard
-Well, you saw the meme on this page
Keep in mind that the translations in this language are written in the Basic Latin Script but the recordings are using the Uyghur Standard System, if you are confused, this article may help you
